No. 14 Lady Bison Halt Hillcats, 76-52

SHAWNEE, Okla. - Oklahoma Baptist stopped Rogers State's seven-game winning streak with a 76-52 victory Saturday night at the Noble Complex in Shawnee, Okla.
 

Natasha Hogg led four players in double figures for the No. 14 Lady Bison with a game-high 21 points. OBU used its size on the front line to grab a 43-31 rebounding advantage and held the Hillcats to just 32 percent shooting on the night.
 

It was the first loss since Dec. 4, 2008, for the RSU women who had posted a program-best seven consecutive wins entering Saturday night's contest. The Hillcats fell to 0-3 all-time against OBU.
 
RSU trailed 11-7, seven minutes into the game before the Lady Bison ripped off an 11-0 run. Azzie Knox stopped the streak with a jumper in the lane but the Cats couldn't keep up with OBU's scoring pace. Taujhnae Travis poured in 15 first half points to give the Bison a 38-24 advantage at the break. OBU went 14-for-15 from the free throw line in the first half while RSU had just four free throw attempts.
 

The shooting woes continued for the Cats in the second half as they shot just 10-for-29 from the floor. OBU countered with an even 50 percent shooting effort to pull away for a 24-point win. Knox led RSU in scoring despite being plagued with foul trouble for much of the night. She finished with 12 points and six rebounds. Katie Rice added 10 points and six boards and Autumn Thompson dished out a game-high six assists.
 

Rogers State (11-5, 5-3) dropped to fifth place in the Sooner Athletic Conference standings and a game and a half behind the conference leaders. The Hillcats will have a four-day layoff before returning to the road Thursday to face No. 2 Oklahoma City. Tip-off is scheduled for 6 p.m. and the game will be carried live on RSU Radio 91.3 FM.
